End to-end company retreat planning

What is your company going to make? Please describe your product and what it does or will do.

We built Flok to handle every step of company retreat planning from start to finish. Our product pairs a planning dashboard with human retreat designers who book hotel room blocks, craft itineraries, and manage every detail so teams don't have to. We solve the complexity of retreat logistics for remote and hybrid teams by combining software with real people.

Where do you live now, and where would the company be based after YC?

We live in New York, NY, and the company is based there with remote team members. After YC, we'd keep the company rooted in New York with remote flexibility.

Explain your decision regarding location.

New York gives us access to major companies that do retreats and a strong remote talent pool. Being remote-friendly lets us move fast and hire broadly while staying connected to corporate hubs.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this the real Flok YC application?

No. Y Combinator keeps submitted applications private. This is a reconstruction: the real YC form questions, answered from Flok's public data (launch notes, founder backgrounds, product description). It shows how a company like Flok would present itself to YC, not the text they submitted.
